A few days ago I finished up God of War: Chains of Olympus on my new PSP and all I've gotta say is that it was pretty fantastic. It would have been great on the PS2 but considering that it's on a handheld system is simply amazing. Much like Ninja Gaiden on the DS, it really feels solid. Everything is there - from the controls, to the animations, to the awesome soundtrack.
My only complaint was more a flaw of the PSP itself and it was that the quick time events that required you to rotate the analog stick were pretty tough to pull off, especially in that small fraction of time they give you. In fact that is pretty much my only gripe with the system itself so far.
Now I need to go back and finally knock out God of War II. How I've avoided finishing what was without a doubt one of the best games of last year is beyond me, but then again I've managed to sputter out on a bunch of games. Let's go Kratos, I'm not done with you by damn sight!
